Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden was announced earlier this year, promising a rich tactical experience based on a popular tabletop RPG where various mutated anthropomorphic animals roam the post-apocalyptic Earth. And now, the game has a proper release date. Barring any last-minute delays, it should be launching on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 on December 4, 2018. Here's the pretty unique announcement trailer:

Launching on December 4th 2018, the game will be available on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 simultaneously.
Announced earlier this year, Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden rustled quite a few feathers when it introduced a crossbow-wielding, bipedal, and unusually sassy duck to the otherwise bleak apocalypse genre in its unique and surprisingreveal CGI. During this year’s E3 in Los Angeles, Funcom and The Bearded Ladies provided press with the first-ever hands-on demo and received several “Best of E3” awards and nominations, and this week, Funcom and The Bearded Ladies are present at GamesCom giving another updated gameplay demo to press in the business area of the show.
Now available for PC pre-order on buy.mutantyearzero.com, the game will be available in a Standard Edition ($34.99) and a Deluxe Edition ($54.99).

To celebrate the release date announcement, Funcom and The Bearded Ladies will be running a special promotion during GamesCom where pre-orders on both the Standard Edition and the Deluxe Edition are 15% off. All you need to do is enter the code GAMESCOM2018 at checkout.
